Hi all.
Long story short, i wanted to let you all know that i had really bad crohns to the point where i was up for surgery this year- going to have a colostomy bag for 3 months until one day...
I decided to randomly have some laxative one night before i went to bed because i knew i was swollen and sore and a bit clogged up which wasn't helping my crohns (or toilet trips to try and push everything out!). The next morning i was in absolute agony and could not leave the bathroom. I swore to myself i would never take that laxative again.
By the end of the night my stomach had settled down a bit.. i looked very ill and pale... very fragile. I know it was the Lord that night that told me to take that laxative again, which when sat down and deeply thought about going through that day's pain again.. i thought it was crazy but, that night i took it again.
The next morning i woke up and that was it. No pain. I bounced out of bed. I had energy and a huge smile on my face. I thank the Lord for opening this door for me, as i had been praying for guidence as to whether to have the surgery or not and as it turns out my specialist told me that there would be no point of having this surgery after how good i'm feeling. Even though there is still pain for me every now and then... and my crohns isn't fully gone away. I'm very blessed to be where i am at the moment and i know God hears my cries.
Thought i would share to encourage anyone who needs it. that God is in control and to hold onto that hope- even when it seems so small.
